Hey Guys! just an update and its been a while. I think its about 15k on these tires now and efficiency for me has been around 450wh/mi average. Keep in mind im not on flats and a lot of up and downhills. so far it looks like its worn down to the snowflake. Meaning its not safe for snow...

Hey all, Got 2 x 275/45R20 OE continentals off my model X to get rid of. One is pretty worn with about 10% left, perfect for spare and FREE for local pickup. Second one is pretty brand new and still got a good 90% tread left. $100 local pickup. I'd like to clear space in my garage. Second...

I have EAP on my 2017 X, and yea it magically went to 3k from 4k. If it was 2k I'd be seriously tempted, but no need. EAP almost drove me into a snowbank last winter season!

Looks like a few chips, I can't really tell... Interested, are these still for sale?

Thanks StealthP3D. For the summer months I switch to my "old-school" ICE (BMW M3). :P Depending on how things go for these may get a second set. I haven't had enough of time on these guys.

I think the Scoprion Verde A/S+ are great for max-mileage. I doubt you're going to be hitting snow, etc. My choice were between Scorpion Zero A/S+ or Nokian WR G4 since I do a lot of driving up to the mountains in the winter and don't want to switch to a winter set. Heard really good things...

I've gotten a set of Nokian (Finnish company) WRG4s that are winter rated and in San Francisco, currently they have been running really well for me and quiet. I drive up to the mountains (Tahoe so snow) so these are the best for me. I never tried the Scorpions.

They are not so well known in the US, but for those who have been looking for winter tires they have been looking at the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 and many loved it. They are based in Finland with a distribution center in Chicago (I think). Since they are popular in Europe especially in Nordic...

Update after 2 days. Still great as they are pretty much now worked in. - Road noise is very quiet, impressed about this and comparable to the OE Contis - Not scientific but over the same road I ran Decibel X. OE CONTIs averaged 86.9 db and the Nokians averaged 85.6 - Energy-wise still...

nevermind...late night for me, saw that specs about the offset etc.

Get your head out of the gutter, not about protection for nocturnal activities...... Talking about car shoes... I had to replace my tires since my OE Contis were running about 3.5mm in the front. The rear was about 5.5 or so... Thinking about selling them since one of the rears was replaced...

If local in CA i might think about it, but it's great to see that they don't look all that bad! what is the offset and did you use any centering ring? I'm just curious because it looks pretty well setup. I have the same color X

for model s or x?

thanks bFlat, I was too much in a hurry as I had a planned trip up to Truckee/Tahoe for skiing. Though with the new one and about to replace in about maybe 6 months or so, going to look for a 20x9.5 Tesla wheel so I can mount that as a spare to keep in the garage. America's Tires in Milbrae...

Try 141! ha! Just kidding, I was coming down the mountain this morning...

the front tires, I've heard will rub on a full turn. I don't have an S. The rears shouldn't have problems at all.

Just gotta follow some guidelines on this and mileage does matter but tread depth even more. Yea you can make arguments to both sides but once you past the 4/32" mark yes you should replace at least both. Right now the tread depth is 7.14mm (new) and 5.5mm (~7/32). I'm planning to replace in...

they look nice, like mine! Just a suggestion that the price is too high. You might want to go around 1700 or so... the regular silver 20s have been sold around 1000-1200.

You should probably post some pics so people can respond....

ha dang! Yea- I didn't have proper 3-ton jack around anyways... need to get one. 3 nails, ouch!

FYI - I drove from Rocklin, CA to Truckee, CA.. my usual to our family "Fortress of Solitude" and it is about 70 miles. On average I use up about 140 of "rated" range on that climb and it's cold. The worst I did was 180 of "rated" range for that, but I was going about 85mph uphill laughing at...

tommie - call Safelite and see if they are in your area. They were super awesome and work with your insurance. Luckily I did not require a replacement and they put epoxy in mine. Their mobile service was great cuz they come to you! I just ran a quick quote for a ZIP code in Crescent City, CA...

Looks like you're in San Francisco. It's very difficult to get under 311 with all the hills and weight of the Model X. Where do you drive around? Highways, roads? Climbing hills? Do you have your HVAC on MAX? I'm usually around 425-500 Wh/mi in the city.... Do you have smart...

I shouldn't have to pay for the loaner or service, it is included as long as the car is still under the 4-year/50k warranty and if you extend that (my understanding). I just have to pay for the tire repair and if I don't return the loaner. Here is the agreement from them on the T&Cs. I'm just...

So on Sunday evening.... Drove out and got a warning immediately there was low pressure of 18PSI on my left rear tire... cussed a bit, looked at it and safe enough to drive back into the garage... Called Roadside and they were very nice, sent a truck over and the guy gave me a loaner wheel...

What is the status of the wheels and tires? Are they in "good" condition? Meaning not damaged by what looked like a t-bone and size (20, 19)? I'm very interested. based in Bay Area and make my trips out to Truckee, CA so can pick up in SAC.

Yes I have ran into this issue before where the HVAC did not turn off after the latest update.... a reboot fixes it.

as long as they show M+S

thanks for the info... I just opened a support ticket about one of my keyfobs. I just went into service with my X earlier this month, fresh batteries. Yesterday my fob didn't work anymore. Tried the second FOB and was fine. Switched the batteries and same thing. I even tried the battery on...

Exactly, we're required to carry them in the winter when going up to Tahoe regardless if you're AWD or 4WD. Next season I'm going to be looking for a second set of wheels and winter tires. The Scorpion Winter should do fine driving from San Francisco all the way to Tahoe... Another option is...

Handmaids tale was awesome. The color looked like it was mine! sahweet

Snow or COLD conditions such as in the mountains of the Sierras I use the rule of 50% efficiency. The X is nice but HEAVY. I used up about 180 miles of rated range going a distance of 70 miles from Rocklin, CA to Truckee, CA but of course I was going 85mph with three adults in the car and a...

Speed limit MAX is 30mph, looks like you were there and below it so that should be OK. I believe the missing link "no pun intended" was to check the install after a mile or so, sometimes it just needs to be tightened after a mile or so. After that it should be good. Either that or the tension...

ROFL!!!!! Sooooo true......

after my .50 update, I parked and went inside. When I came back out like 5 hours later, the middle screen was on (and no dash) and my heater was running! The car was non-responsive except that I can open the door. I was down to 80 miles on rated range and was like WTF! Luckily I came down...

Condensation should be fine, if it pools up then ask for service center. My X condenses as well similar to your 2nd pic when it's been raining a lot and the car goes into the garage with the temperature difference.

Here is my ModelX 100D plugged in at work with a fast charger. 72A. As mentioned the chart from Tesla doesn't look accurate past 48A.

Yep... For Model X, on 72A I get 40 Miles per hour of charge. That was because when I bought mine it came with a 72A charger. Model X: 40 Miles per hour of charge @ 72A 30 Miles per hour of charge @ 48A Does that justify extra $1,900? Depends on your needs and if you have SCs readily...

See below table. Not sure if it is completely accurate because on the 90A/72A "Fast Charger" at work it gives me about 40miles/hour of charge. Usually juiced up in about 2-3 hours for me. At home it costs a bit more to install the proper breakers to handle that amount so installation itself...

Superchargers bypass the AC Onboard Charger. For most people, you don't need the 72A as that will require a 90A feed (take 80% of the feed). For example at work we only have 4 fast chargers that can provide 72A to our cars out of like 20 HPWCs. If your home can at most provide 60A that would...

yep can't blame all on Tesla as the EPA standards are that, standards established by someone or someBODY. Just take note that the numbers are practically based on average temperate climate on a flat road driving at 55mph (i believe that is the case) is pretty much what it is based on. Cold...

Plenty of wall *connectors* for sale in the FOR SALE forum. Looks like Tesla released a batch of the referral program HPWCs.

how much for the wheels? Are they damaged? Are they OEM ones? Looks like they are missing caps. PM me thanks!

Thanks guys, i checked and i have the parking chimes on... probably going to turn it off... It's so annoying when going through a drive through at Taco Bell.... Sounds like it's probably the sensors unable to work from the snow and ice

just had my Model X serviced for the 1st year and they found a problem with the roof spine applique sensor and replaced it under warranty. not sure how much that would have cost though honestly... But as the car ages, the moving parts will probably be problematic like the falcon doors and...

SO I was in Truckee this weekend and 80 was closed... so we took the long road and decided to do a road trip out to Reno -> SOuth Tahoe -> El Dorado Forrest -> San Jose... whew. I charged up to 280 "rated" range in RENO, took the 580 to 395 to 88 to 89 to 50 and landed in Folsom for charging...

Anyone run into this? Last weekend as it was snowing, coming back from Tahoe, there was a long slowdown and constantly dipped above and below 5mph, the chime kept coming on and was so annoying. We were on highway 50 through El Dorado Forrest and no we were not trying to park! :P

I'd advise to call in about that deductible. For me it would be worth it for an expensive car like this (failing door, spline, air suspension, etc.). Especially if you're going to keep it for a LONG time.

LT51? I know a company that can sell it to you 80 off what TESLA sells for. If interested PM me. Bought mine from them and shipped really quickly.

If it is cold, that cuts off about 50% of the rated range. I never rely on the "range" for my X in the winter and mountains and give a 50% efficiency. Roughly 20% in normal driving (i'm quite spirited too). Environment definitely plays a role. example 1) Going from ROCKLIN, CA to TRUCKEE, CA...
